In this sermon we look at what occurs between Christ's death and burial as recorded by John.

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. (John 8:36) ~~~~~ Lord's Day afternoon service at Milward House Pilgrim Home with some 20 residents and several staff. ~~~~~ *1/ Who Jesus is speaking to - Believers, Abrahams seed. 2/ What he is speaking of - freedom. 3/ How freedom is found.* **Sermon summary:** The sermon explores the theological concept of true freedom as presented in John 8, arguing that genuine liberty is not merely a social or political state but a spiritual deliverance from sin, condemnation, and error. By drawing a parallel to the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, the message emphasizes that only the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Passover Lamb, can break the bondage of sin. The text distinguishes between nominal belief and authentic discipleship, urging listeners to examine whether their faith is rooted in personal trust in Christ rather than religious heritage or self-righteousness. Freedom is found through continuing in God's Word, knowing the truth, and relying on the Son who has redeemed His people. The sermon concludes with the assurance that those whom the Son sets free are truly free to serve God, having been purchased by His grace.

This sermon examines the institution of the Lord's Supper in Luke 22, emphasizing the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice for all sins. The central message contrasts the irrevocable condemnation of Judas, for whom there is no remedy, with the enduring grace shown to the disciples despite their pride and Peter's impending denial. The preacher highlights how Christ's desire to share the Passover with His followers demonstrates that His broken body and shed blood fully cover their weaknesses and future failures. By addressing the disciples' strife over greatness and Peter's doubt with compassion and promises of a kingdom, the sermon illustrates that believers are not dependent on their own moral perfection but on the complete atonement of Jesus. The tone is comforting and instructional, urging the congregation to rest in the assurance that no sin is beyond the reach of Christ's forgiving blood.

The Passover and the days of unleavened bread were important to the nation of Israel. The Passover was the day when God spared the firstborn of Israel and killed the firstborn of Egypt. Jesus Christ fulfilled the typology of the Passover. He is our Passover. We must trust in His sacrificial death in our place. His broken body and His shed blood are the only means of salvation for anyone. His resurrection and ascension seal that fact.

(AI Generated Summary) This Lesson examines the institution of the Passover in Exodus 12 as a pivotal moment that resets Israel's calendar and establishes the necessity of substitutionary atonement. The preacher argues that unlike previous plagues which demonstrated God's sovereignty over creation, the final judgment reveals that all humanity, including Israel, stands under divine wrath for sin. The requirement of a spotless lamb whose blood is applied to the doorposts illustrates that salvation is not achieved through human merit or moral improvement but solely through the death of a substitute. This typology finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who identifies Himself as the true Passover Lamb during the Last Supper, offering His body and blood as the new covenant. The message concludes by urging believers to recognize that their entire existence is defined by this atoning work, calling for a life of gratitude and holiness that reflects the grace received through Christ's sacrifice.
